WIND OW- CLE ANER.

Be 'tknown vthat I, ARTHUR J. FISH, a

lcitizen of Athe United States, residing at 'f East lochester, in the county 'of Monroe and 'State of' New l"York, have invented new a i d usefuliIvm rove'ments in Wrindow-Cleanersy of Whicht e following is a specification.

This'invention relates to Window cleaners I and the object o f the invent'io-nfis to provide a simple and' cheaply constructed device ot this 'character -vvhch maybe readily and conveniently attached to a sash and particularly to the sash of vestibule shields on trollefy cars andthe like, so as to clean the fronto the Window from the inside.

. Further objects' of the invention will appear as the following specific description is read in connection With the accompanying drawing,.vvhi ch forms' a part of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a sash showing my improved cleaner attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail rear elevation. Fig. 3 is` a detailvertical sectional view.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, l and 2 represent the top and bottom` sills :if thesash and 3 and l4 represent the side stiles thereof. Mounted in the bottom sill, centrally of its length, 1s a bearing member 5 which a shaft 6 is journaled,

. said shaft having squared ends 7. The out'er stuared end has secured thereomby means o a cotter pm. 8, a crank arm 9 Whose outer 'end is bent at right angles to the normal line of the arm and in normal position extends up parallel with the stile 4. The terminal end of thisportion is bent at an obtuse an- "gle, as `shovvn at 10, and pivoted to the terminal end is a cleaning strip v11 which is adapted to operate over the glass 12.

Secured to the inner end. of the shaft 6,

by means of the cotter pin 13, is a crank #arm 14 having a handle 15 projecting at right angles thereto. When the crank arm 14 is raised the end 10 of the crank arm, with its'cleaning strip, w.ill be carried across Patented. Feb.. 24, 1914.

the glass 12 so as to clean the same.. When the crank arm is returned to normal it lies parallel with the bottom' .sill of the rash and the parts of the arm 9 lie parallel with the bottom rail and the Stiles with the cleaning strip 11 lying against the stile 4.

It will be seen from the foregoin that all l,

that is necessary to do to the sash 1 s to drill a'hole in the bottom rail and place the device thereon by first attaching the bearing,

inserting the shaftand keying the crank arms 9 and 14 thereto, i

When 1n its normal position the weight of the crank arm 9 and the handle crank 14 serves to hold the cleaning strip 11 in an inoperative position as shown clearly in Fig. 1, and the cuter end of said crank arm J normally out of the plane of the Window paneand when operated is adapted to move the cleaning strip 11 across the Window panes in a very slight arc. y

Having thus described the invention,what l claim as new is In a window cleaner, a sleeve adapted to 'be fitted in the bottom rail of asash, a shaft rotatably )noun ted Within said sleeve having squared ends, a right angular arm mounted upon one end of said shaft adapted to lie in a position parallel to the sill and one of the stiles of a sash, the vertical portion of said rightangular arm 4being curved inwardly at its upper' end, a. cleaning strip pivoted to the inwardly curved portion and a crank arm Gro.
